Unfortunately it seems to require flash. So this might be better:

(Actually, I've only read the follow up book:

Very good.)

Zombies happen because the parent process neglects to reap them. So
it is a bug in or involving the parent process. You should be able to
figure out what the parent is. That may also be a hint as to why
netstat is being run at all.
One way of finding out process relationships is to run this command in a
very wide xterm window:
ps laxgwf | less
